of the Somerset road. Mr. Dunn owns the
controlling share of the road which has de-
faulted the interest on its bonded indebted
Ness now for about fifteen years. Mr.
Harrington represents the stockholders of the
Somerset road who reside in Norridgewock
The sale Of the road to the Maine Central
has been under contemplation for some time
and several weeks ago President Sewall, Gen
eral Manager Fucker and other officers con-
nected with the Maine Central, made trip
over the Somerset road for the purpose of
examining its condition and ascertaining
about how much business the towns along the
line could furnish. If the Somerset should
be purchased it will probably put an end to
the p.opostd extension of the Somerset
branch of the Maine Central to Scion, thence
up the kennebec vail'y to a connection with
the International railway, but instead the
Somerset will be the one that will obtain the
extension.

HALLOwELL'A INDUSTRY
stony Wonders Of the Bodweu Gr.n,,.
QuArrfes.

Saturday, June Is, as we were driving in
by the Hallowell Granite Quarry, we found
D. j. Richards the veteran quarryman,
superintendent of the quarries. and six men
ana as many horses and oxen tugging away at
a huge stone, 80 feet long and 81 feet square
Mr.. Richards had everything in such com.
piete working order that they rolled the
stone out OF the quarry up quite steep grade
with as much ease as a farmer would hall a
load OF wood or hay. The company have
lately purchased large block, double pur-
chase tackle with steel wire cable, at a cost
of $3.50, which comes handy in moving the
heavy blocks of granite which thew have
taken out of the quarry. Within few weeks
the following large blocks have been hauled
out: One statue for the famous Plymouth
monument, ID feet long, 9 feet wide, 7 feet
thick, weighing about 100 tons in the rough.
This stone was moved distance of 40 rods
Also one stone in process Of cutting. 43 feet
long, feet square. Another in the rough
ready to commence cutting Yesterday morn.
ing, June 20, was 80 fee, long 81 feet square
Others were in the quarry ready to roll out.
one &c feet long, b feet square; one 50 feet
long, 40 feet square, welghiog 10 tons; one
large base, Is feet square,2 feet thick, weight
90 tons. The company are moving some of
the largest and most difficult stones to handle
al the present time that have ever been taken
from the quarry. The Hallowell Granite
Company are fortunate in having in their
employ 50 able and careful a superintendent
as b. J. Richards, and Mr. Richards is fortu-
nate in having so good crew and foremen.
Mr. VIM. Hoskens is foreman of the cutters

| One of the noticeable pieces of work in
process of cutting is part of tomb which the
